The whole affair thus has the structure of the missed encounter: along the way, the truth, which we have not yet attained, pushes us forward like a phantom, promising that it awaits us at the end of the road; but all of a sudden we perceive that we were always already in the truth. The paradoxical surplus which slips away, which reveals itself as &#8216;impossible&#8217; in this missed encounter of the &#8216;opportune moment&#8217;, is of course <em>objet a<\/em>: the pure semblance which pushes us toward the truth, right up to the moment when it suddenly appears behind us and that we have already arrived ahead of it, a chimerical being that does not have its &#8216;proper time&#8217;, only ever persisting in the interval between &#8216;too soon&#8217; and &#8216;too late&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><small>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lacan.com\/zizlacan1.htm#_ftnref15\">www.lacan.com<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slavoj \u017di\u017eek &#8211; Lacan: at What Point is He Hegelian? from jodi dean The answer has been here all along.
